Corey Dillion???

The Sun reported today that the Ravens are having talks with Corey Dillion, 32 years old, and would be interested in signing him if talks with Jamal don't go as planned. My question is, WHY??? I mean Mike Anderson is completely capable of being the work horse for this team if Jamal dosen't return. Dillion wants to be a featured back and does not want to split time with Anderson. I just don't see the logic.

Really?? Are you *sure*? Because the Ravens coaching staff, which spends day and night with MA for half the year, apparently thinks otherwise. I believe Mike Anderson is an asset as a running back, but will not be our feature back barring injury or absolute desperation. Clearly they see something in him that does not say 'starter.'

I'd consider Dillon an upgrade over Jamal, for what it's worth.

His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

True I believe in MA too but Why Not? Right now we need a RB (just in case) and Dillion is just as good as anybody out there. In this league teams need to have a plan B, C and D and Dillion could be someone we can use instead of the tap dancer if he or the FO decides to move forward.

WOW! I feel so fortunate that the Ravens did what they had to do to make this happen. Thank you. My Heart is with the Raven....My Heart is with Baltimore and its great fans. What can I say. Here We Go!!! --Ray Lewis

Re: Corey Dillion???

Ok, my comments came off a little bit wrong. What i meant to say was the MA and CD are roughly the equivalent of one another. Both are over 30 years old. I can see why they would bring Jamal back to the team being he is only 27 or 28 years old. I don't think Corey Dillion is a featured back anymore and is better suited for a split role with someone like MA. All I was trying to say was that MA can do the same things that CD can and there is no need to waste the money, time, and effort on someone who only wants to be a featured back.

I'd say that Dillion is a slightly better short-yardage back but your point is taken. Which ever way the Ravens go with that, I hope they remember that Jamal sucks in short-yardage situations and they sit his butt down.

Very much agreed....sometimes i just wish he would drop that shoulder and run and not worry so much about jumping people. He still has the size to run through the line its just he is studder stepping....but this is an argument that has been talked about way to much. In conclusion i agree with ur statement.

Re: Corey Dillion???

I'd rather bring in Brown or Mcgahee....then Dillion.....not that I don't believe Dillion could be an asset...but simply the age factor. McGahee and Brown are younger and have fresher legs...and I think they would last longer....Just my Opinion.....

we aren't just loyal, we are obsessed. and we are violently so. we are baltimore, and we are the epitome of dysfunctionality.
